Weighing is a powerful performance measurement tool for farmers, as informed management

decisions come from animal weight data that is easily obtained and accurate.

The benefits of weighing animals include:

• Measure feed conversion to maximise yield by monitoring weight gain over time

• Monitor animal health

• Reach animal weights prior to mating for better reproduction rates

• Determine weaning weights

• Select animals by weight for sale and slaughter

• Evaluate animal breeding performance for genetic selection
